Zapredon said: It's the best shounen of all time. Seriously, I could give an essay on why it's the best shounen and draws the love of so many people from different age groups and nations around the world, but this being MAL I know only very few would read it. Simply put, One Piece is the best at what it does, which is providing a fantastic world with great characters to draw you in for every aspect of the emotional spectrum, from laughing your head off to crying huge tears. It remains the #1 best-selling manga in the world and actually holds the Guinness World Record for the comic series with the most number of copies sold. It is the #4 favourite anime on the site despite having less members than the other ranking anime and the #2 favourite manga on the site. The author (Eiichiro Oda) is also the favourite shounen mangaka on the site, and Monkey D. Luffy is the 3rd favourite character despite all the other characters in the rankings having many more members. The truth remains that you will NEVER be able to understand unless you see it for yourself, so you'd better strap down and get that marathon going. Don't catch up though. |

I ended up being hooked by the first episode. Five years and 600+ episodes later and it's my favorite series. I personally like One Piece because it's entertaining. The characters are likable, the plot is complex, the action is engaging, and the dramatic moments make me feel. I could go into more detail but it's kind of a waste of time trying to convince someone, a stranger who's tastes I know nothing about, to watch something if they have such strong feelings against it. Either watch it if you're interested or don't watch it if you don't want to. It's that simple. Took you 5 years to watch 600 episodes? Didn't you feel the urge just to marathon it in a month? No, I was just saying it's been almost five years since I started it. I watched the first 500 episodes in just under six months. That's when I caught up and have been watching on and off ever since. I usually take a small break so I have episodes to marathon. Which is why I'm not currently caught up. |

IntroverTurtle said: Because it's the best anime ever. Mad appeal, men, women, children, adults, even the elderly can find something they like One Piece. Large cast of lovable characters who's bond grows over their journey, quite a unique bond I must say. With an even larger cat of side characters that are interesting with multiple factions and motives. The universal theme of setting out on an adventure for your dreams. Has little filler and the filler that it does have is great and his the series enough that you can't tell. The story and world is made so masterfully that it's perfect for being a long runner, I don't know of any other series that does it that well. Things are foreshadowed hundreds of episodes before, characters come back at the right times, some things will not make perfect sense until later which just shows how good of an author Oda is. There are no illusions, the characters are always moving towards their dreams one island at a time, we are told of things that will basically happen in the future and along with Oda's planning you're actually excited about the future and know you have no chance of a false ending. Great back stories and stories each arc on top of overall. Imaginative and wacky world building which never ceases to amaze me. Somehow it manages a rollercoaster of emotions that work, lighthearted comedy, tension, seriousness, tear inducing drama, all without ever clashing, each one individual is better than most series that do it solely. Etc I'm interested in how exactly it achieves all these ends. Examples of development? Of exploring themes and ideas? Also, foreshadowing is nothing. It's called Buried Gun. You look back, pick something you dropped and develop it. Chuck Palahniuk wrote about it. |

| Dunno OP, episode 150 was as far as to what I got. Maybe it would have gotten better later on, I'm just not interested to watch it anymore. 700+ episodes is too much, I could watch about 50+ 1-cour anime in that time. |

UchuuKyoudaiFan said: Nxtslide said: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA What's funny? He doesn't win every fight. And even when he does most of the time it takes a great effort. Example Some say he has no character development but the progression of his abilities can be considered as such. Luffy's strength progression is one of the most rational in shonen. He isn't getting random friendship powerups to win fights. Rather, his chance of winning depend on his current capabilities (at the battlefront) and his tactics. Wrong. Character development is strictly for characterization, crap like power ups and new abilities are not character development. Luffy is the most static shounen Jump protagonist ever, so much that even the most hardcore of fans can't deny it (make up excuses tho) More like great effort by the villains to act as dumb as possible. Crocdile presented as intelligent yet fails to kill him twice. Luffy vs Crocodile in a nutshell: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BondVillainStupidity |

| It makes sense if he underestimated him but not far enough that he literally doesn't check if he died for good, twice. First time can fly but the second one was just dump, and Luff'y luck made it even dumber. |

I wasn't going to bother because you are clearly just here to hate, but what would be silly is if Crocodile deviated from his time-sensitive plan to hack the body of someone he doesn't even consider a threat into pieces. It's easy to talk from the position of hindsight, but no one is going to take time to hack a fly into pieces because it may prove a nuisance for their bank robbery. The BondVillain thing (lol, tvtropes) is also dumb. There were no death traps, no situations where he could escape by his power, no explaining plans he could stop, no wanting to join his side, break his spirit, part of the plan. It's sad you couldn't even get something from Tvtropes straight. |

First time can fly but the second one was just dump, and Luff'y luck made it even dumber. The first time, he didn't even care if Luffy was alive or not. He didn't even think Luffy was a threat, second time is pure luck from Luffy. I can't blame Croc for not expecting this would happen. |
| Its simple mainstream suitable for kids and dumbed down with mindless actions perfect for the 12 year old pretend otaku |
| Look idiot. I clearly mentioned Robin name because she was Croc underline, main point was checking if he was alive or not. Now you can say that my reasons for thinking it's bad are terrible, dumb, etc, I'm a hater, troll, one piece is the best, blah blah. Just spare me the twisting bullshit that you use to try and undermine people's arguments. You are literally worse than Mikasa in that aspect. |
|
| IDK but I'm glad it is. Its popularity makes people so salty. I mean, how salty one must be to bash a series on a constant basis? It's funny. "The series I hate is more popular that I think it should be, so I'm gonna bash it in every possible thread I find" So much salt, so much butthurt. |
 |
| It's just a plain fun. The adventure part of it is fun, and the comedy is GREAT. Honestly, Oda has like the best sense of humor in the entire world. His jokes never fail, totally. Too bad it works better in the manga than anime, but I still love it. Besides that, manga has AMAZING artstyle. I didn't believe it either at first, I mean there are no bishoujos or bishounens, but when I bought my first volumes I understood. Every single detail or background is drawn, you won't see even one blank page with "heart" like in the Bleach. Completing one volume takes me often about 2-3 hours, sometimes I just gaze at some pictures. Anime doesn't have it, animation is veeery poor, and so is the pacing, especially after the timeskip. I guess that if not for the ingenious manga, anime wouldn't be this popular just by itself. That's just my opinion tho. |
  |
| Because its the greatest of all time. |
| Because of this rule.... 1. People make such a big deal about this series 2. They made over 700+ episodes, so it must be good 3. You should always listen to the HYPE As for me-I'd rather watch a good Milky Holmes episode any day than Naruto. |
| People love and uses "rubber". |

| Because it's still airing and it's full of action and adventure episodes.The pirate theme is pretty popular in these days. |

TornadoTheDragon said: As to being #1 worldwide from what only 20 million of those sales are international while the other ~300 million is all from Japan. As opposed to Dragon Ball or Naruto. Where international sales make up a larger portion of the total revenue of the franchise. Not sure about the whole "Guinness World Record for the comic series with the most number of copies sold" is it referring to a franchise as a whole or just one particular serialized issue? International manga sales aside, OP is popular not just in Japan, but also internationally. However, in the international place where it is popular, manga sales are not that common in the first place. For example, when I travel to SEA, OP is very popular there. I think it mostly western countries where OP is not popular but then again, Japan still the biggest market and generate the most profit/revenue. OP still the best selling manga in the whole world though. akisma said: Zapredon said: It's the best shounen of all time. It's funny. It also has lots of good arcs. nope One Piece is not the best shonen Having seen lots of other anime, I haven't come across other shounen that is better than OP. |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |

| its the only long running anime that has interested me enough to start it. ive only heard great things about, while a lot of what ive heard about naruto, bleach, fairytail is that theyre really disappointing, and full of terrible filler (i've considered watching detective conan recently though) |
 |
| Not too much filler in Fairy Tail, but yeah the other two have a ton. Bleach's especially is really bad. Idk how OP manages to go on for years and years with so little filler.
